Снегопат: Markdown Formatting Rules

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are divided by blank lines.

Headings

# Top-level Heading                         Alternative Top Level Heading
                                            =============================

## Second-level Heading                     Alternative 2nd Level Heading
                                            -----------------------------

Links

[display text](URL)

[display text](URL "Title")

<URL>

[display text][label]

With link format 4 ("reference links") the label must be resolved by including a line of the form [label]: URL or [label]: URL "Title" somewhere else in the document.

Fonts

*italic*

_italic_

**bold**

__bold__

`code`

Note that the `...` construct disables HTML markup, so one can write, for example, `<html>` to yield <html>.

Lists

 *   bullet item
 +   bullet item
 -   bullet item
 1.  numbered item

Block Quotes

Begin each line of a paragraph with ">" to block quote that paragraph.
> This paragraph is indented

> > Double-indented paragraph

Miscellaneous

In-line images using ![alt-text](image-URL)

Use HTML for complex formatting issues.

Escape special characters (ex: "[", "(", "*") using backslash (ex: "\[", "\(", "\*").

Special Features For Fossil

In hyperlinks, if the URL begins with "/" then the root of the Fossil repository is prepended. This allows for repository-relative hyperlinks.

For documents that begin with top-level heading (ex: "# heading #"), the heading is omitted from the body of the document and becomes the document title displayed at the top of the Fossil page.
